đź“–Recommend for Grades 10 and upđź“–
by Julia Walton
Adam
Petrazelli refuses to answer his therapists’ questions. Instead, he writes down
his answers and feelings in a journal for his therapists to read during their
sessions. He is seeing the therapists to be monitored while being a part of a
new drug trial for his Schizophrenia. Over the ten months of the trial, Adam
shares his ups and downs of starting over in a new school with the secret of
his mental illness, living with a stepfather who now seems afraid of him, and
seeing all his “imaginary friends”.
A wonderful and intriguing story about living life with a mental illness. Adam is
a delightful character, as are many of the supporting ones. As Adam attends a
Catholic HS some readers may find some parts a little too heavy on religion
but that should not deter one from reading this story.
